I love stationary, postcards, notebooks, pens but also stamps and stickers, watercolors and pencils. And candles, playing cards, planners..

I love Niconeno I think because I really love their sticker/stamp collection. Especially online, I only see some of those brands carried on Etsy from independent sellers. Think they tend toward Japanese but I'm also open to Korean and European brands as well. A lot of stationary stores don't typically carry the diversity I'm seeking - not looking just for a Midori notebook :)

Wondering which other online stores I may like as well? I'm also a fan of Sterling Ink, Choosing Keeping in UK, Yoseka and The Little Whimsy (less stationary, more stickers/stamps).

Is it stationary stores I like or more sticker/gift shops maybe? LOL

Thanks for any recommendations!

I'm a lover of musk, frankencise, palo santo, amber, patchouli, tobacco. I don't like flowery scents very much.

My favorite candle of all time is Trudon Ernesto with Gabriel a close 2nd :)

My go to candles:

Dark Rum Mallin Goetz

Speakeasy Harlem

Bijoux's Charmed set

Catbird Ghost Rose is the only one different among most of these :)

Pascha Soap co Frankincenese Myrrh and Palo Santo

While I love these scents, I dislike quality of tunneling so have given up:

Le Labo Encens

Diptyque Amber

I esp. dislike:

Nest - not complex enough

Lafco - always a headache,

Salt and stone - not strong enough throw

Most of the popular ones that are always mentioned don't have enough throw for me.

I've tried a couple others like Strange Gent, Jackson Vaughn but honestly, it's not better than the ones above so I more or less stick with those. I still need to get to Evermore London, Saint and Joya.

I'm searching for an Oud candle. Any suggestions please?? Thanks!!!

What are your favorite books?

I know on their website they give a few but from a users' perspective, which have worked "best" or would you suggest to someone just starting, to read?

How do you shortlist if you don't need to read 5 books about money?

Most books seem to focus on 1. Fund abundance/wealth and resources and 2. angels+demon sigil work. But they all seem to more or less focus on the same results (diminish debt + increase wealth/a zillion sigils to choose for rituals).

If I'm simply trying to find the most 1. Straightforward approach ("easy" no frills, results for general magick whether great luck, no bad luck, manifestation success, etc) 2. Which book provides the most general applicable magick in seeing money coming my way?

Thank you for your suggestions!!

I'm looking for someone who can modify or redesign shelving system we have standing up next to our washer/dryer unit upstairs in our hallway as our existing system needs to be taken out completely due to repair work on our units.
